Question 1

How much does carpet cost in Bristol?

Accepted Answer

Carpet prices in Bristol vary widely depending on the type and quality. At Multi-Save Carpets, our carpets start from around £8/m² for budget options, with mid-range twist pile carpets typically between £15–£35/m², and premium options from £40/m² upwards. We also offer underlay from £3/m² and fitting from £4/m². We always provide a free, no-obligation quote so you know exactly what you're paying before you commit.

Question 2

What is the best carpet for stairs?

Accepted Answer

For stairs, we recommend a durable twist pile or loop pile carpet with a high wear rating (grade 5 or 6 out of 6). The carpet should be at least 80% wool or a high-quality synthetic blend. Avoid saxony or velvet pile on stairs as they show wear quickly. We stock several ranges specifically designed for stairs, including stair runners which are fitted with rods for a classic look.

Question 3

How long does carpet fitting take?

Accepted Answer

A typical bedroom (10–15m²) takes around 1–2 hours to fit. A full house (4–5 rooms plus hallway and stairs) usually takes a full day. Our fitters are experienced and efficient — we'll give you a realistic time estimate when we come to measure up.

Question 4

Do you offer free carpet fitting estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We offer free home visits and estimates throughout Bristol and the surrounding area. One of our team will come to your home, measure up, show you samples and provide a written quote — completely free and with no obligation to buy.

Question 5

What underlay do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

The right underlay makes a huge difference to how your carpet feels and how long it lasts. We recommend a minimum 8mm thick underlay for bedrooms and 10mm for living rooms. For stairs, a firm underlay is essential. We stock premium underlays from leading brands and often have special offers — up to 50% off on underlays and grippers.

Question 6

Can you fit carpet over underfloor heating?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you need to choose the right carpet and underlay. Carpets with a tog rating of 1.5 or lower are suitable for underfloor heating. Avoid thick pile carpets or heavy underlays as they insulate too well and reduce the efficiency of your heating system. We can advise on the best options when you contact us online.

Question 7

Do you supply carpet only, or do you also fit it?

Accepted Answer

We offer both options. Many customers prefer our supply and fit service for convenience and peace of mind. However, if you have your own fitter or want to fit it yourself, we're happy to supply carpet only. We can cut to your exact measurements online.

Question 8

How do I measure my room for carpet?

Accepted Answer

Measure the length and width of the room at the widest points, including any alcoves or bay windows. Add 10cm to each measurement for trimming. For stairs, measure the width, depth and riser height of each step. Don't worry too much — when you book a free home visit, our team will measure everything professionally.

Question 9

What carpet brands do you stock?

Accepted Answer

We stock carpets from leading UK mills including Brockway (Kidderminster), Cavalier Carpets, Condor, Cormar Carpet Co, Crucial Trading, Hugh Mackay and Victoria Carpets. We also stock own-brand ranges that offer excellent quality at competitive prices.

Question 10

How do I care for my new carpet?

Accepted Answer

Vacuum regularly (at least twice a week in high-traffic areas), deal with spills immediately by blotting (not rubbing), and have your carpet professionally cleaned every 12–18 months. Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the carpet. Use furniture coasters to prevent indentations. With proper care, a quality carpet should last 10–15 years.

Question 11

What is the difference between wool and synthetic carpet?

Accepted Answer

Wool carpets are naturally soft, durable, flame-resistant and eco-friendly. They tend to be more expensive but last longer and feel more luxurious. Synthetic carpets (polypropylene, nylon, polyester) are more affordable, stain-resistant and easier to clean. Many of our most popular carpets are 80% wool / 20% nylon blends, which combine the best of both worlds.
